Let us pray:
God our Father,
you call each of us by name,
and you treasure each of us
individually
as though no-one else exists.
Inspire us
to respect and value
each person
who comes into our lives this day.
Amen.

. Let us pray:
Lord, whilst I pray
for peace and goodwill in our world,
I ask you to help me
to change my own attitude
for the better,
so that peace and goodwill
may start with the way I behave
towards those who have hurt me.
Inspire me to be as generous to others
as I would like them to be with me.
Amen.
Quote:
Churchill wrote this about how a great
nation should act in war and in peace:
“In war, resolution;
in defeat, defiance;
in victory, magnanimity;
in peace, goodwill.”

Let’s pray in silence for a moment for people
across the world, like Terry Waite, who
are prisoners of conscience…
Quote:
“Dear Terry,
You are not forgotten. People everywhere
are praying for your release, and that of
other hostages.
With best wishes,
Joy Brodier.

Let us pray, using some words of blessing
that Paul wrote to the Christians in Corinth:
May the life of the Lord Jesus,
and the love of God the Father,
and the companionship of the Holy Spirit
be with us all. Amen. (2 Cor 1313)
